If Continuum doesn't aim to soar, it executes the basics well. Read full review

The pilot looks pretty impressive in the future, but after that, it's a fairly standard copshow, other than the bionic-type gizmos Kiera brings to the fight. Read full review

I have never in my live been more excited to watch a show. I only watch 1-2 episodes a day each day im more excited to watch the next episode. I love the storyline its science fiction/time travel/cop show all rolled into one. Quite possible be the best show I have ever seen. I wouldI have never in my live been more excited to watch a show.

Quite possible be the best show I have ever seen. I would recommend it to all, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry. Its hard to say who is the bad guys and who the good guys are. Its up to you to decide which side you think is right. You can find it on Netflix and its worth it to give it a try!… Expand

While some of the complaints about acting and "one-dimensional" storytelling may have been valid after one or two episodes, after watching the first season on Netflix I have come to appreciate the multifaceted characters and deep story. Can't wait for the story to unfold! It is definitelyWhile some of the complaints about acting and "one-dimensional" storytelling may have been valid after one or two episodes, after watching the first season on Netflix I have come to appreciate the multifaceted characters and deep story. Can't wait for the story to unfold! It is definitely NOT a fail. The characters really developed in the first season and the production value is high, plus the story is like a rabbit hole that continues to get deeper. I will continue with Continuum.… Expand

kudos, canadians

Season 1 introduced a police show without the usually gross tedium.

Time travel without Timey Whimey (tm) but alternative Scientifical explanations was a most welcome change.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I do like the show but there is one major problem with it. The show seems to have violated the Information Paradox. One example is Julian's tattoo. He sees it on Kagame's arm but later we learn that Kagame got the idea for the tattoo from an elderly Julian he meets in jail, in the future. So, where did the idea of the tattoo come from? Nowhere.… Expand

The lead actress is appealing, and I'm interested in the time travel implications of certain actions. It's not brain-dead TV like so much else we're seeing. Let's go.

I wanted this series to be much better than it is, it has potential. It start really strong. High production value, good acting, decent character development.

Another cop show with a blatant political propaganda push. Get this, governments are a failure and corporations are the country's savior and a corporatocracy is benevolent entity. You have got to be kidding or living in a lead cave doing way too much LSD. This absurd and obscene messageAnother cop show with a blatant political propaganda push. Get this, governments are a failure and corporations are the country's savior and a corporatocracy is benevolent entity. You have got to be kidding or living in a lead cave doing way too much LSD. This absurd and obscene message is right out of the corporatist, right wing playbook and is complete bat squeeze. Trump probably approves, though. On top of corporations and totalitarian fascism being the cure for the world's ills people who believe in human rights and such documents as the Constitution of The United States are presented as terrorists and sociopathic killers. I was amazed at the first and ONLY episode I bothered to watch. I don't buy the sick, right wing message. Why did this country bother to fight WW2 if fascism is so great? and I can't believe that this got an 8… Expand
